MARY F. BISHOP, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.

WATER-HEATING DEVICE.

Application filed April 2, 1917.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, IVIARY F. BISHOP, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of Philadelphia, county of Philadelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in lVater-Heating Devices; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in a water heating device, particularly of the gas jet type, and it has for an object to provide an improved heating drum or holder and drawer, which are simple in construction and economical in the cost of production.

The invention consists in a skeleton holder which may be stamped from sheet metal and bent to provide a support for slidably and guidably receiving a liquid-containing drawer, said drawer embodying a pouring spout that projects through an opening in the holder.

Further, the invention resides in the features of construction and arrangements and combinations of parts hereinafter described in detail and succinctly claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawing wherein:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the improved holder in position on a gas jet;

Fig. 2 is an end View of the holder; and

Fig. 8 is a longitudinal section through the holder depicting the drawer in side elevation just entering the same.

Referring to corresponding parts by like numerals of reference, 1 designates the bot tom and 2 the top of the holder, the same being solid and connected by an end wall 3 that has a perforation 4:, of rectangular design, to receive the pouring spout 5 of the liquid-containing vessel or drawer 6. The front edge 7 of the top wall 2 is curved upwardly and the corresponding edge 8 of the bottom wall 1 is curved downwardly to form lips which guide the drawer into its holder. The drawer is further guided in its sliding movement over the bottom wall of the holder by the side flanges 9, which are formed integral with and bent upwardly from the opposite side edges of the bottom wall, and the side flanges 10, which are bent downwardly from the opposite side edges of the top wall.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 10, 1917.

Serial No. 159,245.

The drawer 6 is provided with a cover 11 that is hinged adjacent the spouts, as at 12, and also a handle 1.3 by which the drawer may be positioned on or removed from its holder.

A suitable bracket 14 is secured to the un-' By reason of the springy character of the z sheet metal, the top wall will yieldably and frictionally engage the drawer cover, hold ing the latter closed and the drawer within the holder. Further, the cover of the drawer being hinged at the spout end insures of the same being closed before the drawer is positioned within the holder. The spout projects through the opening 4 and thereby permits the vapors and steam to escape without especially providing vents in the cover and top wall for such purpose, and by means of the imperforate bottom wall 1 the drawer is not exposed directly to the flame of the heating medium.

While I have shown and described my improvement as adapted to be used with a gas jet flame as a heating agent, it will, of course, be understood that any suitable heating agent, as oil, alcohol or electricity, may be utilized.

What is claimed is:

1. In a water heating device, a holder opened at its sides and front end and having its rear wall formed with an opening and imperforated top and bottom walls, depending guiding flanges on the side edges of the top wall, upstanding guiding flanges on the side edges of the bottom wall, the front edges of the top and bottom walls being turned outwardly, and means for sup porting the holder over a flame.

2. In a water heating device, a holder opened at its sides and front end and having its rear wall formed with an opening and imperforated top and bottom walls, depending guiding flanges on the side edges of the top wall, upstanding guiding flanges on the side edges of the bottom wall, the front edges of the top and bottom walls being turned outwardly, means for support ing the holder over a flame, and a drawer slidably disposed in the holder and having a spout receivable in the end wall opening thereof.

3. In a water heating device, a holder stamped from sheet metal and bent to form a top wall and a bottom wall joined together by an end wall, said top and bottom ,walls being yieldable apart, and a liquidcontaining drawer slidably and frictionally engaged between the top and bottom walls of the holder.

4-. In a water heating device, a holder stamped from sheet metal and bent to form a top wall and a bottom wall joined together by an end wall, said top and bottom Walls being yieldable apart, a liquid-containing drawer slidably and frictionally engaged between the top and bottom walls of the holder, and a cover hinged at the forward end of the drawer and engaged by the top Wall.

5. In a water heating device, a holder comprising top and bottom walls connected at one end by an end wall, the opposite end. edges of the top and bottom walls being turned outwardly and their side edges bent toward each other, and a drawer slidable between the top and bottom walls.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
